T491X156K050AT

KEMET · Tantalum Capacitors · CASE-X-7343-43(mm)

T491X156K050AT from KEMET, in a CASE-X-7343-43(mm). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ANODE (+) passive Positive termination, identified on the body by a polarity stripe and sometimes a beveled edge; transient reverse voltage is limited to 15% of rated voltage at 25°C, 5% at 85°C and 1% at 125°C, and the part should not be operated continuously in reverse.
2 CATHODE (-) passive Negative termination (leadframe marked as the cathode); the datasheet says solid tantalum capacitors are polar and may be permanently damaged or destroyed if connected with the wrong polarity.
